Should I buy then sell?

Hello all. I have the opportunity to buy my company vehicle, a 2001 Ford Taurus SES w/60k for $6400. I am thinking of buying it and trying to resell it for for a profit. Kelly Blue Book puts a private sale at $8900. I think if I could get $7500-$8000 I might consider. Biggest problem I see is whether I could turn this car around in a fairly small town in a reasonable amount of time. (160,000 people) Thoughts?

I wouldn't suggest buying the car to try and make a profit. Its wont be worth the time investment you'll have to put into it.

KBB is pretty bad with their geusses on car values. so id average the 2 top private party values. those taurus' gennerally resell fairly well. id reccomend putting it on ebay.
